Week in Review

Celtics get the nod on this week in review. They quietly claimed the top seed in the East, set the NBA record for biggest turnaround in one season, and are in position to sit the "Big Three" (Garnett, Allen, and Pierce). Well done, boys.

Meanwhile, the Red Sox have dropped two in a row to the Blue Jays and sit at 3-3, overall. At least Beckett comes back today. Hopefully, we can take one from the Jays before finally making our way back home (after visiting California, Japan, California, and Canada).

As for me, it was my first week back to school after two weeks off and what a week it was; parents complained about grades (some about failing grades and others about why their child only got an A-); I completed a 20+ page paper for graduate school; Kim had two people die from her work place (in separate incidents); and there are nine (?) more weeks left to the school year. Thank goodness I can somehow measure the time remaining in this hectic part of my life.

There is a lot of good news, though. First, Kim and I have the six year anniversary of our first date coming up (4.9.08). The Red Sox next nationally televised game is coming up on the 12th (Sox at Fenway against the Yanks). Kim and I are going to see the Celtics take on the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on April 14th. It looks like next year I'll be teaching both middle school and upper school (which will be great for my resume). Kim's nearly done with her classes for this semester and she's strongly considering taking the summer off. And finally, I just found out this week that I've received an academic scholarship from my grad school. It's only a partial scholarship, but I'm still thrilled to know it'll be that much less I need to borrow and I'm also flattered to be recognized by such an august, erudite institution.

I guess that's all for now, but I hope everyone's well. Look for more pics soon, particulary as Kim and I head out to MSG on the 14th.
